Hydra Guide

Hydra Ferry Port

On the northern coast of Hydra Island, a rocky, rolling landmass in the Saronic Islands region of Greece, is the maritime town of Hydra. This collection of white-washed villas and narrow, stone streets is spread in an amphitheatre across the steep hillsides that surround a natural bay of the Aegean Sea. Not only is it the largest town on the sparsely populated island, it is also a tourist gateway into a largely untouched slice of rural Greece; a trait for which Hydra was recognised in 2007 when it was named by National Geographic magazine as the country’s most unique island destination. Though much of Hydra’s charm is centred around the deep-blue bay and the wide promenade lined with shops and bars, it is also a region steeped in history. The island played a major role during the 19th Century Greek War of Independence by supplying Greek revolutionaries with ships and provisions to help their fight against the Ottoman Empire. Admiral Andrea Miaoulis, an independence war hero and proud Hydriot, has been immortalised in brass atop a fortified wall of the bay. Those visiting the admiral can follow his steely gaze across the sweeping expanse of the sea upon which he once fought. The port of Hydra is found on the eastern edge of the bay, just to one side of the calm, sheltered waters of the local marina. There are no passenger facilities here. The “ferry terminal” is nothing more than a designated stretch of the promenade where vessels dock after entering the bay. There are however plenty of nearby amenities including a local bank and ATM machine; a few small shops; and a host of quaint, verandaed restaurants where one can dine while being serenaded by the gently lapping surf. The island can be difficult to traverse due to its largely remote nature. Only a few roads snake across the uneven terrain of pine-forested hills and valleys, with large swathes of the isle only accessible on foot. All motor vehicles are banned by law so public transportation comes in the form of horses and mules. A number of ferry routes currently leave from the port in Hydra. Services hosted by Hellenic Seaways travel daily to various destinations on the southern prongs of mainland Greece. These include fast trips to the towns of Porto Heli, Ermioni and Poros and the larger city of Piraeus near to the capital of Athens. Another service hops west to the neighbouring island of Spetses too.


Poros (Saronic Islands) Guide

Poros (Saronic Islands) Ferry Port

Poros is situated in the southern region of the Saronic Gulf. The port is used to connect the Greek island with neighbouring islands belonging to Greece, including popular crossings to and from Kyllini and Piraeus that typically last between one and two hours.

What is there to do in Poros?

Poros’ appeal lies in its location; a short boat ride away from major tourist destinations such as Piraeus and Mykonos, as well as it’s close proximity to Athens, makes it the perfect base for anyone planning a trip around Greece. The island has all the colour and vigour of Athens, except it exudes an aura of tranquillity, emanating from the calm, quiet beaches that decorate the coastline. Most visitors are only there for the day, though labelling Poros as a day-trip island would be doing it a disservice; the charm, food and atmosphere tempt many into staying for an extra day or two. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, partaking in some watersports or embarking on a day of sightseeing, Poros adheres to tourists from every walk of life. Walk around the Town Centre’s amphitheatre landscape in the afternoon to bask in the idyllic surroundings and alluring architecture, before stopping to sample some of the delicious local cuisine in the evening. The beaches remain relatively quiet throughout the year, though in summer, Askeli Beach is popular for anyone who fancies their hand on a jet ski. Love Bay beach is perhaps the better option for sunbathing, though its small size can create congestion in prime holiday season.

How do you get around Poros?

Cars are generally not advised in Poros, though buses run from the port to popular areas and taxis are readily available throughout the day. Alternatively, it is more than possible to cover most of it by foot.
